Chic Chattin

Conservative Chic Chattinis a Nashua, NH radio program that features women; all we are and all we do. I am grateful to have had this opportunity, a day after International Women's Day (March 8th), to speak with hosts Karen and Lynn, two wonderful women themselves. It was a nice interview and chat; a wonderful send off to get started on my new life as a traveler and traveling troubadour. Please enjoy.Listen to Radio: http://rahelmusic.com/interviews/s/chic_chattin_wsmn1590

This is the headline of an article written about my good friend, Yona Yacobovitz. She is the founder of Tofa'ah, Israel's first all-woman rock band that was established in 1981. I am one of the founding members. Clearly our friendship goes pretty far back.

Yona's unique vision gave birth to alternative avenues of artistic quest and expression when there were none for observant Jewish women in Israel. The impact of the band's mere existence was huge and changed the lives of many.

As an extension of the band we also formed a non-profit organization that focused on and still gives support to women artists in Israel. Tof Miriam: Tof Miriam is dedicated to the encouragement and support of Jewish women artists. We seek to gain respect and recognition for Jewish women in the arts and to develop new forums for the celebration of women's voices and women's experience. We serve to provide cultural excha…

WHAT IS THE HEALING LIGHT PROJECT? The Healing Light Project is a project with its roots beginning in 2015. I received a simple Facebook request from a Zimbabwean musician living in South Africa. His reason for writing? To raise awareness through music about his love for Africa. Yes, he says, Africa IS a place where there is much poverty, crime, disease and racism. His song, PEACE, a song we recorded as part of our first collaboration, sings about this. Yet, with all that Africa is a place where this one man, together with eleven additional vocalists, is trying to let people know about another Africa - the Africa filled with loving friends and family - regular people who are trying to live regular lives just like most people in the world.
This one man, Mr. Future Moyo, sent letters to many musicians, most of whom either ignored his outreach or simply wished him well. Then it…

There is something beautiful happening here in South Korea, and around the world. It's one of the "hidden gems" that can only be found because someone told you about it.

I was fortunate to have met Yohan Song, a South Korean Fingerstyle Guitarist who actually lives in Pretoria, South Africa. Wait. What?

Before I tell you how I met Yohan let me fill you in about what Fingerstyle Guitar is all about. Let's just go to Wikipedia for some text:

Fingerstyle guitar is the technique of playing the guitar by plucking the strings directly with the fingertips, fingernails, or picks attached to fingers, as opposed to flatpicking (plucking individual notes with a single plectrum, commonly called a "pick").

Because individual digits play notes on the guitar rather than the hand working as a single unit (which is the case when a guitarist is holding a single pick), a guitarist playing fingerstyle can perform several musical elements simultaneously. One defin…

Hey! Thank you for visiting me here. I am Rahel (Rah-ckhel, as in Bach). I am a musician, singer-songwriter, Certified Clinical Therapeutic, educator, and writer. Yup and also a mom of two incredibly amazing adult kids.
Music has been in my life for pretty much as long as I can remember. I consider myself a "Folk" musician - I write songs, compose tunes, play the guitar and sing.
It seems, however, as I've been told by many, that I am NOT a folk musician. Apparently I somehow don't fit the mold.
"WHAT? So then how do I classify myself and my music?"
"You're unique, " I've been told. "You have your own style and your songs are in a league of their own."
"Oh dear. Well, there is no category called 'Unique'. Eclectic maybe? Contemporary? Ambient? World?"
"Yes, those and more. All of them. Versatile. You're music is beautiful. I love your music. It's just, well, unique Like you!"
Welcome to my unique world. If I might offer one small piece of advice? Please don't postpone JOY!
Welcome to my blog, "The Eccentric Musician".
